The 34-year-old American singer-songwriter visited the Polish capital as part of the European leg of her "The Eras Tour."

Swift's concerts, held on August 1, 2 and 3, coincided with the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.

In a poignant tribute, concertgoers observed a minute of silence at 5 p.m. on August 1, after which the Polish flag was displayed on screens. Social media posts from "The Eras Tour" official profile described the moment, "Everyone stood up in complete silence, followed by applause. Chills guaranteed!"

During the nearly 210-minute performance, Swift delivered over 45 songs, impressing not only with her music but also by speaking Polish several times.

This linguistic feat drew praise from both local and international media. American magazine People highlighted her exceptional connection with the audience, calling it "a triumph for Slavic Swifties."

After the Warsaw shows, Swift took to Instagram to express her gratitude and love for the Polish fans.

"Oh, I loved those Warsaw shows so much. Our first time ever playing in Poland but it won't be the last... I seriously had the best time. Also wanted to thank those beautiful crowds for making us the first tour to play three nights in a row in your stadium," Swift wrote.

She promised her Polish fans that she would include Poland in every future tour.

"I've decided we must play in Poland on every tour," Swift announced from the stage during her second performance.

While it is currently unclear when Swift will return to Poland, her commitment to return has undoubtedly excited her extensive fan base in the country.
